[02] HOW MANY DIALUP NUMBERS? CAN I USE ANY NUMBER? (ROAM)
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are over 10,000 DIALUP/ISDN numbers Nationwide and Canada.
|
||
|
You can use *ANY* number you wish, so its perfect for people
|
||
|
who travel.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Most numbers are v.92, which means you can most likely connect
|
||
|
anywhere between 52000 bps and 56000 bps if your modem/serial
|
||
|
port supports that data rate. Bit rates as low as 1200 are
|
||
|
supported if your hardware requires that. ISDN connections
|
||
|
support 64000 bps per B channel.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you want to be really geeky about your connectivity, 'getdialup'
|
||
|
provides you with the DIALUP NETWORK you would be gaining access to.
